I do not want to say( or roll another company under the bus), as it may just be me being over critical of parts. Thats why I was hoping to get some pics of other grilles installed.

The center sections i have heard nothing on fitment issues, the buckets will depend on if you have repop fender or OE fender. this will make a difference in how the buckets sit against the fenders. the goodmark fenders, the square hole is to far forward and will need to be notched inwardfor the grommet to sit. there are only 2 suppliers on the 70 grille.

yes,it does fit a little different on the aftermarket fender side.also the fender top has slighty different contour on afteraket fender. I still cant get home early enough to get a good pic in light.( just looks to dark to see a difference) actually looks great in all the pics. Thanks for all the info, I will just have to tinker on it a little!!!

more then likely the square holes in the fender are the issue not the buckets.
